three servers

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Unless you want this become a mono-culture, with one thread of drama, I ighly recommend we duplicate the servers (minus gear + plat + auto delete after 2 weeks) twice.

This drama is caused by a mono culture. multiply the cultures.

how to populate more than one server? why not try to implement that?



one server = terminal VERY limited value.

how to depopulate multiple servers? This crap turns up on the forum every year, and then the summer hits.... population drops to 350-400, and then you've got 3 servers with ~150 each on them.

Think these ideas through to reality, think of the big picture.

You don't escape certain inevitabilities with a new server.

There'll always be inflation, there'll always be raiding guilds like TMO, and there will always be twinks, scammers and zones where you can't group because people are PL'ing.

All you're "buying" by making a fresh start is the time before all that happens again...and helping to split the population in half in the process.

How do you people not understand that a fresh server will only level the playing field for about 24 hours? The people who are "monopolizing" things right now will be back to max level and rolling in manastones, guises, and all the raid loot imaginable while you and the other people who wanted a server restart are still fighting over xp mobs at the fucking orc highway.

Nope

A new server with Kunark+Classic straight out of the gate sounds awesome though. I loved to play on new servers as they came out back in the day. The experience when everyone is still leveling up, one guy is getting rich by selling langseaxes and one guy asking for donations so he can level up his smithing and in turn give you better prices on your first banded set ..

.. oh, and people getting into flame wars over gnoll spawns at Blackburrow. THAT IS MY FANG U BITCH. I'm totally up for a new server where everyone starts fresh.

This is a VERY smart person. Listen to what he said above. All you need to know.

[bluejam]

Worst idea by far.

everyone who is saying its dum has a ton of time/shit invested here already

ignore them, this server is beyond mudflation a fresh roll would be great

I feel that a fresh server wouldn't have so strong an effect effect as its proponents expect. As such I don't particularly support such a motion. That being said, it would have *some* benefit simply because the dupes that damaged the P1999 economy early on wouldn't happen on a new server.

Now's the wrong time, regardless. This sort of thing would make more sense after Velious has been out for awhile.
